Dear Matthias,
In message <5347bbbc.9000...@arcor.de> you wrote:
we are currently trying to get an out-of-tree board based on 2013.01
back in sync with current master and observing a strange behavior which
we think is located in the CFI flash system. If we load an image via
tftp, copy it to flash and then try to run the image via bootm we see an
error while decomressing:
...
Uncompressing Kernel Image ... LZO: uncompress or overwrite error -5
Are you sure your malloc arena is big enough for LZO? Try if
increasing it helps...
We increaded it from 4MB to 8MB and the behavior is still the same.
We also observed a different behavior when tftping the image to RAM and
then directly executing it without copying it to flash. It seems that
the flash device (EN29GL256H) is then in some a mode (maybe auto-select)
which prevents it from normal read operations which doesn't allow the
flash driver of the OS come up. We never saw this with our old u-boot.
If there are no ideas left we will have to bisect the problem.
Bisecting was successfull. The commit introducing the problem is

lzo: correctly bounds-check output buffer
This checks the size of the output buffer and fails if it was going to
overflow the buffer during lzo decompression.

This commit introduced the usage of the dst_len output parameter as
additional input parameter containing the maximum output buffer size.
This parameter isn't initialized in cmd_bootm.c:
454 #ifdef CONFIG_LZO
455 case IH_COMP_LZO: {
456 size_t size;
457
458 printf(" Uncompressing %s ... ", type_name);
459
460 ret = lzop_decompress(image_buf, image_len, load_buf, &size);
Setting size to some big value (SZE_MAX is not avialable) fixed the
behavior but I am unsure if this is the correct solution. I think its
hard to get the max output buffer size at this point in cmd_bootm.c.
Regards
Matthias
